By William H. Ash mead, 



Assistant Curator, Dirisinn of Insects. 



Nearly all of the species of Hymenoptera described in this contri- 

 bution were received from Rev. Rol)ert E. Brown, S. J., within the 

 pa.st six weeks, and, since my last paper. Additions to the recorded 

 Hymenopterous Fauna of the Philippine Islands, went to press. 

 Man}' are in genera not l)efore noticed in the islands. The new genus, 

 Ki !cgeria^ was taken by Miss C. 8. Ludlow on the Island of Mindanao, 

 and is the tirst representative of the tribe Xoridini found in the 

 Archipelag'o.
